Five!

How is it even possible that my three are 5 years old?! Only July 1, my toddlers became kids. We had their party at the aquatic center in town. This, my friends, has been the 3rd year I've tried to rent this place out. It finally happened! I rented it out way back in March (when it was still snowing). A shout out to my mom for that. When you work in the community & know everyone like she does, things go easier. And, it was a hot summery DRY day. What a great night we had. It was so nice to be able to rent the place out for ourselves. This place is usually PACKED daily during the summer. There is no way I could take the kids during the days because there is only one of me & three of them & I would lose them for sure.

Isabel with my step niece, Ashlynn. Anytime Isabel wears a bikini she says, "I look like Ashlynn". Anytime I wear my bikini I think the same thing. Yea, right...bikini!

We have grams (my grandma), Ruth (Nate's grandma), Mark (Nate's dad) and my aunt Linda in this pic.

My mother in law..enjoying watching the kids play

My dare devil, Jonah. They weren't allowed to wear life jackets or wings going down the slides (which were in the deep end). He was cool with that. Nate would be at the end to help him. He did great!

The cake..I wanted to get them each their own separate cakes but everything ended up falling thru and I had to pick up a last minute cake at the grocery for all of them.

We went back to the house to open presents. I knew none of them would want to take the time out we had at the pool to open gifts. So, whoever wanted to come back to our house afterwards, could.

I'm not quite sure what Jasper's smile was for the day. I promise, he really is cute ;)
